sense, Mr.. George may be doing good service;
a reformer he lacks substitute. Chicago Inter
Ocean.
If the South continues to creep up behind
the free trade movement while the North pre-
sents solid front against it, sooner or later the
free-trade movement will be crowded into the
Ohio river. Philadelphia Times
Mr.. CLEVELAND Endorsed Fellows; he Endorsed
Lowering, and he is inextricably entangled with
German and GormaniSm-in view of which facts
it is time, as we believe we have before suggest

than his party" should be laid upon the shelf
with certain other mugwuJnp superstitions.

a REAL TEST CASE.

The Interstate-commerce Commission is
now hearing case of great Importance in its
bearing on the usefulness of the interstate
law and the rights of shippers under it. This
is the complaint of George Rice, an oil refner
of Marietta, o., against various railroads for
giving discriminating rates to the Standard
Oil Company. His charge affects some ten or
twelve railroads. He AYERS and will endeavor
to prove to the commission that the Interstate
commerce law has been persistently violated,
and has actually been of advantage to the
monopolies in promoting discrimination. He
will show that since the law went into opera
ton the Standard Trust has been at least as
successful as formerly in crushing its competi-
tors, and that the roads have Disseminated
in the most oppressive manner against him
and in favor of the Standard Trust. Mr..
Rice has already shown himself good fighter,
and in thisiinvestigation he proposes to dig
for bottom facts. This is right, and the COM
mission should use all the power at its COM
mand to further the inquiry. The people
want to know whether the interstate law is
rs ~ dead letter 1t is notorious fact that
the STANDARD Oil Trust will take
all it can get, and will 60 far the law
will let it go to increase its
own revenues and crush out competition. In
business sense that is all right. All cor
porations do the same. But the Standard Oil
Trust must be made very distinctly to under
stand that it must obey the laws. and if it has
been party to the violation of the interstate
commerce law, it and the implicated railroads
should be called to account. The law pro-
vides penalties for its violation, and if the
commission finds that the Standard Oil Com
pany has been party to such violation they
could not establish better precedent than by
enforcing the penalties of the law against
that wealthy and grasping monopoly. As
creature of the law, the Standard Oil Com
pany. like other corporations. has its rights

PUTTING the little inmates of the Orphan
Asylum on exhibition in a downtown show
window for the purpose of exciting public
sympathy in their behalf may be proper
thing to do-the Journal does not venture to
assert that it is not-but the proceeding GER
tainly CRATES on the sensibilities of perhaps
overly fastidious people. The shock to their
sense of propriety is of no consequences, how
ever; but there is possibility that the effect
upon the orphans themselves of thus making
them genteel mendicants may be one that the
most delicious of Thanksgiving dinners will
not altogether counterfeit.
